For instance, that all it requires is for me to create the ability for say a mac user with login of bob to access things under /bob is for me to go in as the super user and do something like:

hadoop dfs -mkdir /bob
hadoop dfs -chown bob /bob

where bob literally doesnt exist on the hdfs box and was not mentioned prior to those two commands.

This should actually be "/user/bob", since that's the home directory for "bob" in HDFS. I agree that mention of this this would make a good addition to the documentation.
